SLB is on a distinguished road
Default Tax and residency.

Hi all,
Any help on the following would be greatly appreciated.
I shall be moving my family to France in August. My wife and children will be living there permanently, I shall be working in west Africa for six months of the year for at least 2 years. I shall spend some of the time off in the UK (some where between 70 and 90 days a year) and the rest of the time with my family. I have seen a UK accountant and two French accountants, all seem to think I will be exempt from UK tax but nobody seems to know if I am required to pay French tax as my salary will be paid in to a UK account. Also one of the French accountant seemed sure I would not be eligible for French residency (as well as any french medical cover) even though my permanent family home will be in France.
Appreciate some pointers in this regard, many thanks.
SLB
